Gene Hackman won an Oscar® for his first major film role, in the classic Bonnie and Clyde. His journey to stardom was anything but typical. BIOGRAPHY® follows Hackman from his troubled childhood in San Bernardino, California he dropped out of school at age 16 to his prolific and lasting career. Rare archival photos show him before stardom as a child, a young Marine, and a struggling broadcaster working at TV and radio stations nationwide. Dustin Hoffman tells how he met Hackman when both studied at the prestigious Pasadena Playhouse. Biographer Michael Munn reveals the ups and downs of his personal life, while clips from films like The French Connection and Mississippi Burning highlight his acclaimed performances.
